TFE 2010 is primarily an academia conference, however, and AMD’s various technology partners will discuss the latest innovations in CPU/GPU tech. However, TFE will be the first time AMD will publicly talk about the Radeon HD 6000 in detail, just 3 days prior to launch, and will no doubt be the talking point of TFE. A Fusion Technology Preview is another highlight.

With contradictory rumours and confusion still at large in the rumour mill, news from TFE 2010 will iron out some of the details till the official release and NDA expiration on 22nd October.
